Overview
- Public filings made in mid‑June show prosecutors granted Lance (Lane) Twiggs limited use‑immunity for a recorded, sworn interview she gave on April 20 and plan to offer that video and photos of messages at the early July preliminary hearing.
- Robinson’s defense has filed a sealed motion to secure Twiggs’s in‑person attendance so they can cross‑examine her; prosecutors oppose the request and say Twiggs is not a material witness for the low‑burden preliminary hearing standard.
- Prosecutors say Twiggs’s statements recount Robinson admitting he shot Charlie Kirk, hiding the firearm, discarding clothing and telling Twiggs not to speak to police, and that photographic screenshots and a handwritten note will also be offered as evidence.
- Use‑immunity bars prosecutors from using Twiggs’s April 20 statements against her but does not protect her if independent evidence later leads to charges, and Twiggs has not been charged in the killing.
- Judge Tony Graf must resolve contested motions on witness attendance and hearsay before the multi‑day preliminary hearing, a decision that will determine how credibility and cross‑examination play out in this high‑profile capital case.
